Donor bone vs. your own bone: which works better for jaw repair?
NCT ID NCT07367464
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two different bone graft mixtures for rebuilding the upper jaw in people who don't have enough bone for dental implants. One group gets a mix of animal bone and donor bone, while the other gets animal bone mixed with the patient's own bone taken from the lower jaw. Researchers will use CT scans and tissue samples to see which approach leads to better bone growth and width after 6 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bone graft (xenograft mixed with allograft or autograft)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a less invasive option for rebuilding jawbone using donor bone instead of harvesting the patient's own bone.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 32 participants, so results may not apply widely. There is also a risk of graft failure or infection.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age: 20-50 years. * Totally or partially edentulous maxillary ridges. * Patients with insufficient bone for an implant placement. * Residual alveolar width ranging from 2 to 4 mm. * Minimum of 10 mm vertical dimension to nasal floor or sinus floor. * Patients with healthy systemic condition (Medically free). * Adequate inter-arch space for placement of the implant prosthetic part. Exclusion Criteria: * Pathological lesions in the defect site. * Systemic diseases that would interfere with bone metabolism. Uncontrolled diabetic patients. * Ongoing treatment or a history of recent chemotherapy or radiotherapy. * Patient with medical condition that contraindicates surgical procedures. * Patients on medication that may interfere with healing (Corticosteroids, Bisphosphonate, Chemo/radio therapy). * Patients with vertical bone deficiency. * Patients with habits that may jeopardize the implant longevity and affect the results of the study such as alcoholism or para-functional habits.
